• Activation of Windows Vista after changing motherboard and processor

  In May 2009, I came to the India and the PC was fine. This year, in October 2010, the PC has suddenly stopped booting and after discussing the nature of the problem with the HP online support, it was concluded that the motherboard has gone wrong.

  I tried to locate to the motherboard, but it is not available and there are size constraints associated with the motherboard that can be mounted in the slimline PC... FINALLLY I could not well the same motherboard.

  Now, I have no option but replace the motherboard and the processor from Intel to make...
  But after the replacement of these two main components: the Vista downloaded on my PC will not recognize them and would require again activation...

  I have not yet changed components and require the guidance on how to make this change followed in reactivation...

  Please give information about the problem as early may so I'd go head and do what is necessary...

  Thank you and best regards

  When you change the motherboard, you lose all rights to the OEM installed Vista OS.  It is called "tattoo" by HP and is a license agreement with Microsoft. Your only solution is to buy a version of the OS and sure, format the drive to lose all data. The only other alternative would have been to contact HP and ask questions on a refurbished motherboard, or a Board that is in the same group family who would accept the OEM license.

• Again - the EULA allows to keep Windows XP after the installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7

  The EULA allows to keep Windows XP after installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7?
  I understand that the EULA (EULA) prohibits the USE of the operating system upgraded - must also be removed from the system?

  I intend to upgrade a pre-installed Windows Media Center 2006 on a Gateway computer to a level of detail to Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit.  I am adding a new hard drive, as this case nears end of life... and plan to install the operating system upgraded to the new HD - because I have XP 32 bit to Win7-64 bit... and a "custom" installation is necessary, anyway.

  This will result in an operating system XP on the old hard drive and the new OS Win7 Pro 64 - bit on the new drive.  There have been suggestions that the answer to this question is simply to remove the "old" operating system, after activating the 'new' Windows 7.  However - I see that any installation (or REINSTALLATION) of the operating system upgraded to Win 7 requires the previous XP to be "present on the computer.

  QUESTION: as long as I don't 'USE' the BONE replaced/implemented to date, I am in compliance with the EULA?  Alternatively, do I install "over" this Windows Media Player OS - on the old, due to lack of hard drive?

  The Media Center EULA States: «...» "15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After you upgrade, you can no longer use the software upgrade of. ... ', but is silent (as far as I can find by reading the EULA on the question of if software upgrade HAVE to be 'destroyed'.)

  (See: http://download.microsoft.com/Documents/UseTerms/Windows%207_Professional_English_7bb89e9f-20ea-4555-892f-394539ec1090.pdf "")

  Thanks for your review (a reference to the appropriate Microsoft documentation would be nice too)

  You said above, «...» "You will be able to upgrade to Windows XP, it is a qualification license... »

  And I assume you are talking about my software Windows XP Media Center Edition (currently installed), as being a "qualification licence".

  That is right.

  Are we in agreement that a copy preinstalled OEM of Windows XP Media Center Edition IS extendable with a 'detail' update the license for Windows 7?

  His qualification, but you can't make a real room upgrade, you can do a custom installation. See the previous post on how to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7. An upgrade maintains the personal files, settings and installed applications.

  I understand the ban on using the OEM OS software OR the upgrade replacement software on one computer other than the one on which it was originally installed by the OEM.

  I also understand that I cannot use the "improved" XP Media Center software, once the upgrade of Windows 7 has occurred.

  The rest to determine if it NEEDS to be deleted or replaced... you have no guidance on this issue?

  Well, when you perform a custom installation, in essence, it is deleted or replaced. Then, it is part of the upgrade license. It's like it becomes a mind is more tangible, but always there as a base to which the upgrade license may exist on your system.

• Problem activating windows 7 after a downgrade from windows 8

  I bought a computer with windows 8.1 pro installed and I'm trying to downgrade to windows 7 pro.

  • The license key for 7 I am using is used on another pc downgraded, as well as the pc that it originates
  • I talked to 2 different people at Microsoft. The first says windows 7 must be uninstalled from the previous computer until I can activate it. Is this true? What the point of having a windows 8 license then?
  • The second person told me to contact the computer manufacturer to obtain a license of windows 7. This is not an option for me.

  OEM Windows 8.0/8.1 Professional (Major) comes with downgrade rights.

  Windows 8.0/8.1 Professional Retail doesn't.

  For OEMS of Windows 8.1 a single system locked preinstallation SLP key is a unique 25-digit product key integrated in the UEFI BIOS.

  For Windows 7 OEM SLP credits is entered from the installation media. This key works only if the markers in the BIOS are present, it is that the BIOS is checked by the OEM. For this reason, you need to an OEM license and support OEM installation.

• Looking for a 'how-to' guide reinstall Windows Vista after upgrading motherboard

  Original title: the motherbard and cpu upgrade

  I want to install (I hope) soon new motherboard and CPU and I was looking for how to guide to reinstall vista after upgrade of the motherboard. Is it possible to get to the office without big hazzle and start reinstalling from there.

  In fact, I want to reinstall vista because I think it's much easier to try to record all programs and other settings.

  I tried to use already search funtion and it did not the asnwer I was looking for.

  I have oem (at least it says in the box) version of vista 32 bit.

  If the motherboard is exactly the same or almost exactly the same there should be no problem.  Otherwise you will want to completely reinstall Vista or even your system will contain drivers for the hardware is no longer present or missing drivers for the new hardware on the motherboard.

  "illuknisaa" wrote in the new message: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy... *

  I know how to reinstall Vista (I did this couple times) but I don't know how Vista reacts when a new motherboard is installed. I just need to reactivate vista or even will I get to the office?

• Disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail and problems with the Windows Firewall, Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows updates.

  Original title: Windows Live Hotmail only opens a new window links e-mail composition!

  I recently put my Windows Live Hotmail account to my default e-mail client in Internet Explorer 8 on my Windows XP SP3 System. Unfortunately, whenever I click on a link to e-mail on a Web page to open a new message, Hotmail tells me, "Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Hotmail right now", and a new/compose message window does not open. I disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail, which fixed the problem. However, when I went to do a manual update of Windows, I am nailed with a Trojan horse! Apparently, the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials have been affected by turning off HTTPS in Hotmail! It's 2012, and it's terribly disappointing that Microsoft only has not ironed out all the imperfections in these services now. If anyone can give me a solution (in simple terms), I would appreciate it!

  Thank you

• Activation of Windows 8 after new motherboard

  I just finished a material change in my computer, including the replacement of the motherboard. Windows works fine but asks to be reactivated, as I expected. Here's the question: I am under Windows 8 Pro with Media Center (update on the internet from Windows 7, use Windows 8 Media Center Pack free key provided by Microsoft). I pressed the button "Activate now" Windows fortunately provided me, and he told me that my key was blocked. So I checked what key he tried to use, which proved to be the Media center activation key. So I tried manually enter my product key Windows 8 Pro, to be told that she would not work with this edition of Windows. I tried to activate on the automated phone system and said again the activation failed.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  Additional information: do you have a system refresh just before changing the material, has done with a recovery USB drive created on a Microsoft Surface Pro, the only side effect I noticed is the logo of Surface on the system information screen. Don't know if that will affect activation.

  Windows 7 is a full commercial version. In this case, is the only option for re - install Windows 7, and then re-update to Windows 8?

  That is right.

• Problem of activating Windows 7: WGA claims that it cannot be verified...

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone could shed some light in the next topic. During the last 2 years, I have been using Windows 7, and so far, everything has been great. However, yesterday I accidentally sprinkled my partition Windows 7 so that tries to install the Windows 8 Preview in my home built PC. As a result, I had to reinstall Windows 7 from scratch, but fortunately I do not have all the files, because they have been backed up before attempting to install the Windows 8 Preview. The problem came when I tried to activate Windows 7 via the Windows Wizard to activate after installing all the drivers of my. When I went to activate the copy of Windows 7, I got an error indicating that the key cannot be verified. I tried to re - enter the activation key and unfortunately I got the same error. Although I was not able to activate Windows 7 via the internet, I used the phone option and was able to Exchange my installation with automated computing ID and the computer gave me a verification code to activate Windows. Fortunately, the work of function phone activation and my copy of Windows works properly. However, this process has left me with a few questions. First of all, I reinstalled Windows 7 on the same PC where I have enabled everything first copy and my PC at home built did not have any kind of big hardware changes given that the motherboard has not been modified or damaged and I've only done a HARD drive upgrade. I also reinstalled Windows 7 itself only 4 times (not counting this event of relocation).
  I have no explanation for what happened yesterday, the only thing I can say that I had a few problems of internet connection last night, but the problem appeared when I was downloading all Windows updates and I can't say 100% if the problem with the activation is my internet connection problems.
  I also wonder if Microsoft has a limited number of activations for Windows 7 on the same PC, where it was first installed. Would this be possible?
  Thanks for the ideas and suggestions that you can give on this subject.
  Best,
  Mike

  Re-activation by internet is allowed 5 times - then the next activation must be by phone, to confirm the right and proper use. I think that the meter is rest afterwards.

  In theory at least, you can activate a license on the same hardware as many times as you like - MS can take a dim view of him, if this happens too often too early and require activation by telephone every time, but there is no time limit for the license. As long as you do not abuse it, you have the right to license in perpetuity.

  If you used to reinstall often, it is best to create an installation is complete (with updates and required software) and the image, if you can avoid the hassle of activation, updates and reinstalls.

• problem with authentication windows 7 after formatting hard drive

  I formatted my hard drive and you need to reinstall windows 7, I used the same activation code that microsoft sent me when I bought digitally windows 7.  Shouldn't that I be able to authenticate with the code, since it is the same computer?

  Try the phone activation:

  How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
   
  1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
   
  (2) press the ENTER"" key.
   
  (3) select your "country" in the list.
   
  (4) choose the option "activate phone".
   
  (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
   
  (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.
   
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950929/en-us

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Problems of fonts Windows Mail after installing IE9

  I just installed IE9 (March 14, 2011) and started this complex problem. Have Vista Ultimate and use Windows Mail. My default font is Verdana "BOLD" by 10 points. With IE9, it seems much too fat (never appeared like that with IE8). Other fonts appear also too fat.
   
  Another strange aspect of the same problem, at the bottom of the HTML emails, you have three buttons (source combined, called edit): Edit Source overview.  Since IE9, they appear in bold - possibly a slightly larger than before in IE8 font.
   
  My emails stored in folders are in HTML format and on which they are considered, the fonts have changed since installing IE9 on many emails - but not all emails. The fonts must be Verdana 10 pt bold or some other fonts are now appearing in Times New Roman 10 points.
   
  There is a second distinct problem with TNR in Windows Mail. I used TNR 12 pt for an email and after you send the email, it appears therefore as TNR 10 pt when a response is received. Regardless of the source of the answer. I never use TNR 10 pt because it seems too small for most people. Somehow 12pt changed to appear over and over again as 10 pt. And now, he continues this model since I use IE9.

   

  A possible connection to explain to the police by changing the above problem. The default value for IE9 is TNR. [Tools > Internet Options > general tab > Fonts] Shouldn't some Web sites appear in TNR? They ALL appear in some other fonts, possibly Verdana. Affecting TNR font in the results of the accessibility in all fonts in all the websites appearing in TNR. I suspect when I changed the accessibility implementation, that in addition to changing Web sites, it also changed policies to e-mail in Windows Mail. I've since unchecked accessibility and "Fonts" are defined by default (TNR). The stored emails continue to show police TNR, that they do not return to Verdana.

   

  Anyone with similar problems?  Anyone has any ideas how to fix these issues?

  You can set the default font in Internet Explorer to the font you want in the mail via Tools client | Internet Options | Fonts.  Otherwise in IE9, you're stuck with what you have for Windows Mail.  The changes are again DLL located in IE9, and you cannot change these DLLs unless you go back to IE8.  Products of its Microsofts, so that they are accountable for your results.  Yes, delivers his "squarely" by Microsoft.
